Luca POV
When we walk into the anniversary party I feel like a fish out of water. I feel like everyone is staring at me. "Calm down Luca nobody knows what you are here" Gio says. I turn to my cousin what exactly am I Gio? He leans in and whispers "a mob man." I chuckle I am probably the farthest thing from that if you ask my dad Gio. "I know you don't do the illegal stuff but you know everyone in our families world recognizes you as Dominique Demetris son whether you want it that way or not. I know what you mean Gio but I want better for myself just like your dad did. He slaps me on the back and we walk farther into the room. As soon as we are inside I scan the room to find the woman who has been plaguing my mind the last few years. I spot her on the dance floor with her arms wrapped around some business suit wearing jerk. I can feel the anger growing in me as I look at his hands touching her. Like I already have some claim on her. I know that's crazy but that's why I bugged Gio about bringing me I need to get to know this girl and figure out what my infatuation is with her. As I stare in her direction our eyes meet and I realize I must have a look on my face that describes the way I feel. I turn to Gio, maybe this was a bad idea it looks like she is with somebody. "First of all I have never known you to give up on anything you want and secondly that is just the douchebag Derrick she dates." Why are you calling him a douchebag? "They aren't serious so I have never made a deal out of it with Abby but that a**hat f**ks anything that moves." Now I can really feel my anger as I ball up my fists. "You can't go causing a scene here at her parents anniversary party." "I am sure Uncle Andrew isn't thrilled about who you are based on our family you don't need to give him anymore ammunition if you are serious about getting to know Abby." I take some deep breaths because I know Gio is right. "Let's go wish Abby's mom and dad happy anniversary so they can see what a gentleman you are" he laughs and we head in their direction. When Gio is in front of the Brentmores they both hug him. I wish people could see me that way instead of just my family. Gio's dad has separated himself that's why Gio has a much easier time not just being known by who is father is. When Gio steps back I greet Abigale's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Brentmore happy anniversary I say as I reach out to shake Andrew's hand. He takes it even though I can tell he doesn't want to. "I hadn't realized you were invited Mr. Demetris" he says. Before I can respond his beautiful wife slaps him "Luca you'll have to excuse my husband he must have forgot his manners at our home where he will be sleeping on the couch if it continues." I like her she is definitely a spit fire and Abigale takes after her. That's quite alright I tagged along with Gio since he had no date. Gia comes up and hugs me which I wasn't expecting and I hug her back. "Its good to see you again, you boys enjoy the party while I have a word with my husband." I smile at her and Gio and I head to the bar.
Gia POV
Andrew what the hell was that? "I don't want him around Abby." You mean how my father and grandfather didn't want me around you. "That is not the same it wasn't because I was dangerous it was because of the rivalry." It is not fair of you to judge that boy based on his families choices. From what I understand he has a restaurant and like Anthony and Gio isn't involved in anything illegal. "His father is the head of the organization and you believe he isn't involved Gia don't be naïve." Did you really just say that to me, guess what I hope you enjoy the couch tonight on our anniversary. "Gia I didn't mean it don't be like that I just want Abby safe." Oh and I don't want our daughter safe? "Nothing I am going to say right now is going to help so I am just going to stop talking till we get home." That's the first smart thing you said in this conversation. As for Abby she will make her own decisions and you will stay out of her love life. "I won't watch her make a mistake and get hurt." If she is going to get hurt and I mean danger that's one thing other than that its not your concern who she dates, she is an adult. Do you understand what I am saying Andrew? Yes Gia I understand but I don't have to like it. I kiss his cheek and smile. "Does that mean you forgive me?" We will see how the rest of the night goes.
Abigale POV
We are at our table because the dinner is just being served. I saw Gio over at the bar with Luca earlier but I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet. I saw his name card is at our table so hopefully he will come sit next to me soon. I start to eat my salad and Derrick is going on about his last shift at the hospital. I just go to take a bite when Gio and Luca come over. "Abby how are you" Gio says as I stand to hug him. I was wondering when you were going to come find me. Gio smiles when I step back. "You know I couldn't wait to see my best friend, Derrick what's up man." I see Derrick nod at Gio but he barely acknowledges him and that just pisses me off but I don't bring it up in front of everyone. Gio doesn't seem to be phased by his behavior "Abby you remember my cousin Luca don't you?" Yes I do I say as I reach out to shake Luca's hand but he pulls me into a hug. Holy s**t I have never gotten aroused from hugging a man. He smells divine and I breathe in deep. "Abigale you look beautiful its good to see you again" he whispers in my ear and a shiver goes down my spine. What the hell is up with my body? I feel Derrick stand up behind me and stretch out his arm "Derrick Robison Abby's boyfriend, nice to meet you" he says toward Luca. What the f**k I am not his girlfriend. I turn toward Derrick and narrow my eyes but again I will wait till we are alone before I set him straight. The two shake longer than I think is necessary. Next they can whip out there d**ks and piss on me. Neither one is my boyfriend but I feel like both are trying to prove to the other I belong to them. Up till this week I haven't seen Luca since I was sixteen and as far as Derrick I know he dates everything with a v****a. I chuckle at that thought as I take my seat. The men around me take their seats too. I begin to eat my meal and try not to focus on the stares that Luca keeps giving me. Gentleman can you excuse me for a moment I have to use the ladies room, I stand. All the men stand and I walk to the hallway. On my way back to he ballroom I am grabbed by the arm and pulled into the coat closet. What the hell is the last thing I think before I am being kissed senseless.
